"Back in August we shared some of what we are doing to drive
new graphics benchmarks on Linux through the Phoronix Test Suite. With
that, we showcased Lightsmark 2008, which was ported to Linux for
integration with the Phoronix Test Suite, and Unigine Sanctuary. Unigine
Sanctuary showcased the latest work from Unigine Corp, which is a
Russian development studio focused on creating cross-platform middleware
for virtual 3D worlds. The Unigine Sanctuary demo was stunning, but
introduced with the Phoronix Test Suite 1.2 "Malvik" release last week
was their latest technology benchmark. Unigine Tropics is an absolutely
stunning test with impressive graphics capabilities and it really sets a
new precedence for Linux graphics capabilities through its OpenGL renderer."
